Is it possible to view Cloudformation stack creation errors via CLI?

I am creating Cloudformation stacks with the aws cli command. A change to my Cloudformation template has resulted in all the stacks being rolled back. Running aws cloudformation describe-stack-events does not show the error that caused the rollback.

How can I view stack creation errors with the aws cli command? Or is the web interface required for this?

Agree with Marcin's comment, the error message will be in ResourceStatusReason property. Sample from a failing stack:

aws cloudformation describe-stack-events --stack-name mystack --max-items 2 --query 'StackEvents[].ResourceStatusReason'                  

[
    "The following resource(s) failed to create: [Cluste123]. ",
    "Replication from cluster in same region is not supported (Service: AmazonRDS; Status Code: 400; Error Code: InvalidParameterValue; Request ID: 12345; Proxy: null)"```
